Hello lutherarkwright93,

Welcome to the Nexus.  It sounds like you've had a goodly amount of experience to date. 

Please do take some time to take a good look around - there's an incredible amount of good information here.

I'm sorry you came in at a time when procuring MHRB is no longer an easy option.  I'm not sure precisely what folks are doing but I do know there are threads on Acacia research and other plants.  This place is so huge it's hard to take it all in, . . . I'm sure someone else will come along with some more information along these lines.

By the way, is your girlfriend a member here?  You mention her encouragement in your search for the molecule, . . .

I wish you the best in your quest.  Regardless of how things work out, I think you will like it here and hope you do become an active member.

Again, welcome.
